WITHOUT JOYCE
They say that
behind every man there’s a Great Woman! In my life this is so true, as what I
became would never have happened without Joyce. Sure, many other dynamics and
people came into my life to make me who I am today…
Though Without Joyce:
“The Fires of
Hell” could well be licking at your toes, she always reminded me. Joyce was my
center as I started my quest to find the Comfort and Love that is JESUS CHRIST.
Without Joyce:
I would never have
learned how to make pictures of a rabbit and tank on a Dot Matrix Machine and
work with computers. She gave me the courage to go to night school, so I could
make it into the Information Technology Department at the Calgary Public
Library.
Without Joyce:
I wouldn’t have
been able to take that little bit of computer knowledge and use it to help
build a Computer Lab at the High School in KwaZulu-Natal Province, Bhekulwandle
South Africa.
Without Joyce:
I would never have
had the ability to make nightly calls to over 408 Parents and assist them in
the recovery of their Missing Children, through Child Find Alberta and Team
Hope the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children. Volunteer with my late Wife Joyce at Inn from the Cold, learning from her how to help those so in need.
Without Joyce:
I could never have
gone to the Gulf of Mexico and assist in the recovery of 70 Hurricane Katrina
ravaged homes in Mississippi & Louisiana. Or become & Rapid Response Chaplin at Samaritan's Purse Canada without
Joyce and GOD.
Without Joyce:
I also Volunteered
on 2 Parent Sponsoring Committees of Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadrons - 781
Squadron and 538 Squadron. Proudly watching my Step Son make it to Sargent and
Granddaughter make it to Warrant Officer in rank. Or be there for when my
youngest daughter needed a real Mom or when my eldest daughters water broke Joyce was there, as
I was there for her eldest daughter for the same.
Without Joyce:
I would never have
had the simple joy of having a Family, Grandchildren and puppy dogs. She was My
Best Friend, she loved me like No Other Human being and taught me to share this
Love with many who needed it and even those who may not have deserved it. Which
is something good, that GOD taught both Joyce and me.
But with Joyce:
I had Twenty-Eight
years together 1986 – 2014 May 27th; that have gone by in a blink of
an eye. We traveled life’s road and have been there and done that, made it
through moments of pee your pants giggles, struggle and strife. Yet my life on
this earth was made better With Joyce and yet I must live another day and night
alone.
Without Joyce…
